I wish there was a little more yellow; he's pretty neon-y blue. But the head looks really nice. I'll be getting him when I see him.

Glad I held out on Goldbug. I want at least one version of this mold without going the yellow way (for obvious reasons), and I was about to bite on Goldbug. This'll be the version of the mold I get.

i agree.. this definitely looks like the best use of the mold. this as bumblebee just didn't fly for me.. goldbug is a bit better.. but i like this one the best. i do however wish they had gotten their shit straight with the cover/figure. i still wonder what's going on there.

I really don't like the mold. The only reason I bought Bumblebee was to use the Renderform Hub head and have a Hubcap for my Classics shelf.

This looks nice but I already have a Nightbeat so I'm not sure if I'll bite again. (I might have if it was the Jazz mold)

because they originally planned to have him as the RTS jazz mold. pretty sure there were even prototypes, if not i know there were at least official digibashes posted at some point.

i think he looks best in this mold, which pains me cause this mold is so weak. oh well... he'll serve his purpose regardless, sitting displayed on a shelf.

Out of the three molds, Nightbeat appeals to me the most. I might actually consider getting him.

Looks Awesome. Can't wait for this wave to come out already.

I want Nightbeat more than anything. Honestly, I actually think he looks better with the Bumblebee mold instead of Jazz.

Comment by Sabrblade Aug 19, 2014

Though I like the look of Nightbeat and think he does look better than Bumblebee, Bumblebee Goldbug, and Goldfire, I still think Goshooter looks to be the best use of this mold, having more paint apps than any other version.

If only every figure could be a collectors grade, limited run, exclusive with a massive budget sponsored by a Japanese publishing company, right? :lol:

I may parts-swap/repaint his chest with Bumblebee to get more yellow on him, but other than that I really like it.

The mold isn't bad, but I don't like it for Bee at all, and I really like for Nightbeat.

Don't get me wrong, the Jazz mold is awesome, but it is too in line with that character to also work for this character.

This is the weakest link of the wace. Dont get me wrong, I would have loved to finally have a blue bumblebee as glyph, but not this mold. I actually like the TFCC version of nightbeat better because it keeps a different mold on my shelf and it has the yellow chest. Fansproject is most likely going to do nightbeat in 2016 anyways based on their old teasers. That will be the must have nightbeat with an actual headmaster.

Cool figure but the weapons really suck. How hard can it be to make weapons that look good and integrate into the altform?

Re: In-Hand Images - Transformers Generations Deluxe Nightbeat (view post)

Comment by craggy Aug 19, 2014

how feasible would it be to swap the chest with the yellow Bee?

Re: In-Hand Images - Transformers Generations Deluxe Nightbeat (view post)

Comment by kirbenvost Aug 19, 2014

He looks pretty great! Anybody notice he actually has painted hubcaps for once? Nice to see Hasbro reintroducing vehicle details.

I already have Bumblebee but I'll gladly get this guy, he's on preorder. I just wish they'd given home a different weapon to further differentiate from Bee. I'll probably transform him with the door wings pointing down just so he looks a little different.

And after a very short interlude since the in-hand images, here's Pax Cybertron's video review of Generations Deluxe Nightbeat! Check it out in the embedded clip below, thanks once again to a tip from fellow Seibertron.com board member Autobot Genocide.

And just to keep up the Generations figures streak, Pax Cybertron has also been taking shots of the Deluxe Skids redeco and remold - the diplomat with a gun (in the current IDW continuity), Crosscut! Check out some in-hand images with size comparisons and close-ups below, and wait with us for an inevitable video review.

Comment by Nemesis Maximo Aug 19, 2014

Crosscut actually looks pretty nice. There aren't too many straight up silver Autobot figures I can think of. He certainly has bright feet, but if I didn't have Skids already, I'd consider getting him.

Comment by mooncake623 Aug 19, 2014

I like the fact they worked crosscut into the comics. Like Tankor if not I'll probably wouldn't want them.
